    Sometimes look back at my old stuff and cringe, what a mess I was. But then I'm still a mess now. Just a different type of mess. Anyway, is a bit quieter than it was before but I only recently came back myself. I dipped my toe in once in a while but life has been crazy but in a sane way so there is not much to talk about.

    everything you said, i couldn't agree more. it's just crazy but sane. when i was younger (and i assume not just me) i had this assumption being an adult would make everything better but everything's still a mess hahaha only a million dollars would probably fix this

    To me, even if you grew up next door to someone, and played with them as a child, if they developed into an intellectual who loved to read all the time, and you became consumed with playing video games, you two wouldn't have much in common and probably wouldn't want to hang with each other much. But you both would want to hang with people who shared your interests. Which is what cliques ultimately are all about.
    And that's my point... We grew up different from each other - different tastes in music, movies, etc., but we didn't gravitate towards those with similar interests. These interests, from my point of view, became secondary stuff to us.We watch movies we don't like for a friend. We listen to music we think is crap for a friend... I don't know how this happened. This guy couldn't play basketball, but we still force him to play with us and it's alright with him. And the best thing about this is that you get to talk trash about their music, movies, interests, etc., and it's OK, as long as you don't mind the same being done to you. Maybe it's an effect of the family-orientedness of Asians. Anyway, if food makes a clique, then I guess that should be it. The gang I hang out with, we LOVE to eat! But don't get a picture of overweight guys around the dinner table, because we're not. :icon_rabbit: (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)Anyway, I'm not sure if that ^ made much sense.
    At the risk of being accused of being self-promoting, have you read my story Everything a Boy could Want at my hosted pages at Codey's World? Much of this story takes place in highschool and I didn't use any of the cliques as part of the plot line except for the "ever present" bullies.
    I haven't read it yet, Des. But I will. :)
    Seriously RJ I don't think the cliques need be used to make a story readable at all. If the story is about people the cliques will arise only if needed.
    Actually Des, my point is, if I write a story where these cliques don't exist, I hope no one thinks that it's too much of a fictional story and that it's too idealistic to be real. Again, here's hoping a plot pops up in my head. :D
    Sweet? I went to a boarding school, and that's exactly what we had. Long house tables. I found you can scowl across a long table just as easily as you can across a square or a round one.
    :wink: I'm sticking to my theory, Camy.If it doesn't work, there's really not much left but character adjustment.

    The gay community has the largest number of cliques. Everything from the Bears through to drag queens, not to mention the closeted.
    :icon_rabbit::wink::lol: You crack me up, Des. Every time. :lol:I wasn't just talking about stories from Nifty though. All high school stories I've read so far, even movies I saw -- though I could be just having some memory gaps -- have these cliques. So like I said above, I started to believe them. My question on whether anyone would believe a story without these cliques is actually more of me wondering about it. I wish I have a plot in mind for a story though, but most of the stories in my head seem to stay away from school.
    You might be right about long tables, but I have always favoured round tables with lots of very handsome knights, but they are another clique altogether.
    That's right. Remind me of a childhood fantasy. :lol:

(Though I still don't know what to call you. :D)Bart, I love your perception.Camy, you're the greatest Emu I know.Blue, as always, you give sound advice.I don't know how else to say my appreciation for you guys. Thank you.

    Hilarious! XDI think that's one of the things that scares me the most... As I've said before, I've never been a sexual person. To me, REALLY IS something sacred (not in the 'God is watching you in the act' way). I don't want to be fooled into having sex with someone who doesn't love me.Maddy (:
    That's quite a good thing, Maddy. I wish I was like you.Rad :icon1:P.S. Des, I wish I was like you too.
